  • Re: Windows Doors in DOS

    Windows door games are written for Windows... Usually 16 or 32 Bit... DOS is
    8 Bit so DOS cannot run Windows programs. I "Think" Freedos "Might" be able
    to run 16 Bit programs, but I am doubting it.

    I think Tiny was suggesting running windows doors on a DOS bbs which is running
    on Windows. I'm pretty sure you can do it with netfoss.

    Of course if the DOS BBS is running on DOS, then it won't work.

    DOS is 16 bit, as is Windows 5.x.
